English summary: Today I really need to share some bright and happy colours with you. The weather is so cold in the Netherlands and we all need spring! Everybody is waiting for some sunshine and spring weather. Because we all need some happiness I created this colour palette and it makes me happy...

Today I will share with you a few great Finnish brands. The first one is a classic, you like it or not because it is quite outstanding. Marimekko has started in the late 1940's (1949) with patterned fabric for clothing but nowadays has lots of other collections. Bright colours and large abstract patterns are Marimekko's signature.

Some other great Finnish design comes from Jalo Helsinki. They decided to create a functional product that is goodlooking. The smoke alarms they created are in 2 shapes Kopu a square with rounded corners and a soft coating in 5 colours or chrome and Lento is shaped like a big fly with a graphic pattern and also available in 5 colours. They are all easy to use and just look much better that the ordinary smoke alarm.

Woodnotes creates beautiful design that is useful and Scandinavian pretty. A curtain/roomdevider made out of Flakes or Flowers. When put together they will create a perfect pattern and can be made in any size you like. They used paper yarn for nice striped carpets and plaids. And created fabric covered pannels which look great as colour blocking art and will help to create the best acoustics in the room.
